This mode replaces the previous heuristic setting enabled with -O, where we
would log directory enter/leave for each synchronized output. Now we only
do that if --trace=dir is given.
* doc/make.texi: Here. It was sufficient to change an '@itemx'
into an '@item'.

A new flag to the -O/--output-sync, "job", selects a per-job (that is, per
line of a recipe) output synchronization. To support this move the close of
the temp file out of the sync_output() function and don't do it until we free
the child, since we may call sync_output() multiple times in a given recipe.
When we set up for a new temp file, if we're in per-job mode we truncate the
file and seek to the beginning to re-use it for every job.
Provide a simple API for loaded objects to interact with GNU make. I still
won't guarantee that this API won't change but it's much closer to something
that's supported and provides easy-to-use interfaces with a public header
file.
We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles
that relied on the GNU make behavior. The POSIX behavior doesn't
seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well,
so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to
get the POSIX behavior.
Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling.
Update the test suite.
On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed
(using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable
it if so.
On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for
Guile support to be disabled.
* Minor syntax cleanups in the manual
* In non-maintainer mode set NDEBUG to disable assert()
* Performance improvements in strcache:

backward-incompatible change in the 2008 POSIX specification.
- Add the .SHELLFLAGS variable so people can choose their own shell flags.
- Add tests for this.
- Add documentation for this.
Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines
from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again.
Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe
the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various
phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts",
etc.
One of our translations disappeared from the translations site so remove it.
The fdl.texi file was changed to not contain any @node entries, so add some
around it in make.texi.
